oracle with

1）创建测试环境：

   DROP TABLE students;
   CREATE TABLE students(ID NUMBER, NAME VARCHAR2(20));

   INSERT INTO students SELECT ROWNUM +9064,'student_name',ROWNUM+20 FROM dual CONNECT BY        ROWNUM<50;
   COMMIT;


   DROP TABLE stu_score;
   CREATE TABLE stu_score(ID number, stu_id NUMBER, subject VARCHAR2(20), score NUMBER);

   INSERT INTO stu_score SELECT ROWNUM+10150,ROWNUM+9100,'数学',90 FROM dual CONNECT BY ROWNUM<50
   COMMIT;

2）使用with ... as

   WITH stu_age AS (SELECT * FROM students WHERE age > 20),
        score_sub AS (SELECT * FROM stu_score WHERE subject = '数学')
   SELECT a.id, a.name, b.subject, b.score
     FROM stu_age a, score_sub b
    WHERE a.id = b.stu_id;

Oracle WITH clause

About Oracle WITH clause

Starting in Oracle9i release 2 we see an incorporation of the SQL-99 “WITH clause”, a tool for materializing subqueries to save Oracle from having to re-compute them multiple times.

The SQL “WITH clause” is very similar to the use of Global temporary tables (GTT), a technique that is often used to improve query speed for complex subqueries. Here are some important notes about the Oracle “WITH clause”:

   • The SQL “WITH clause” only works on Oracle 9i release 2 and beyond.
   • Formally, the “WITH clause” is called subquery factoring
   • The SQL “WITH clause” is used when a subquery is executed multiple times
   • Also useful for recursive queries (SQL-99, but not Oracle SQL)

To keep it simple, the following example only references the aggregations once, where the SQL “WITH clause” is normally used when an aggregation is referenced multiple times in a query.

We can also use the SQL-99 “WITH clause” instead of temporary tables. The Oracle SQL “WITH clause” will compute the aggregation once, give it a name, and allow us to reference it (maybe multiple times), later in the query.

The SQL-99 “WITH clause” is very confusing at first because the SQL statement does not begin with the word SELECT. Instead, we use the “WITH clause” to start our SQL query, defining the aggregations, which can then be named in the main query as if they were “real” tables:

WITH
subquery_name
AS
(the aggregation SQL statement)
SELECT
(query naming subquery_name);

Retuning to our oversimplified example, let’s replace the temporary tables with the SQL “WITH clause”:

WITH
sum_sales AS
select /*+ materialize */
    sum(quantity) all_sales from stores
number_stores AS
select /*+ materialize */
    count(*) nbr_stores from stores
sales_by_store AS
select /*+ materialize */
store_name, sum(quantity) store_sales from
store natural join sales
SELECT
   store_name
FROM
   store,
   sum_sales,
   number_stores,
   sales_by_store
where
   store_sales > (all_sales / nbr_stores)
;

Note the use of the Oracle undocumented “materialize” hint in the “WITH clause”. The Oracle materialize hint is used to ensure that the Oracle cost-based optimizer materializes the temporary tables that are created inside the “WITH” clause. This is not necessary in Oracle10g, but it helps ensure that the tables are only created one time.

It should be noted that the “WITH clause” does not yet fully-functional within Oracle SQL and it does not yet support the use of “WITH clause” replacement for “CONNECT BY” when performing recursive queries.

To see how the “WITH clause” is used in ANSI SQL-99 syntax, here is an excerpt from Jonathan Gennick’s great work “Understanding the WITH Clause” showing the use of the SQL-99 “WITH clause” to traverse a recursive bill-of-materials hierarchy
